If I've understood it correctly, the OSS driver will fail under aRts because aRts is already occupying the sound device when OSS tries to access it. Disabling aRts should not be necessary, though - there is an aRts audio output plugin for XMMS in the ports tree, under /usr/ports/audio/xmms-arts. Cheers, -Jan Christian
